Microwaved Sweet Potatoes with Honey and Cinnamon

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Microwaved Sweet Potatoes with Honey and Cinnamon.

1. Step 1

   Begin by giving your sweet potatoes a thorough wash to remove any dirt.

2. Step 2

   Next, take a fork and gently prick the potatoes all over; this allows steam to escape during cooking, preventing any messy explosions.

3. Step 3

   Arrange the sweet potatoes on a microwave-safe plate lined with a paper towel, then cover them with another paper towel to keep the moisture in.

4. Step 4

   Microwave the sweet potatoes on high for about five minutes.

5. Step 5

   Keep in mind that cooking times may vary based on your microwave's power and the size of the potatoes, so be prepared to adjust as needed.

6. Step 6

   After five minutes, carefully flip the sweet potatoes over and microwave for an additional five minutes.

7. Step 7

   Check their softness; if they’re still firm, continue microwaving in one to two-minute intervals until they reach that perfect tender state.

8. Step 8

   Once they’re cooked to perfection, take them out of the microwave and wrap them in aluminum foil, allowing them to cool for a minute or two.

9. Step 9

   When they’re cool enough to handle, slice them open and add a delightful mix of butter, honey, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

10. Step 10

    Use a fork to mash the sweet, soft flesh with the toppings until everything is beautifully combined.
